What will follow smallville

As a result, he had no choice but to learn how to use it. It was this storyline that introduced the John Stewart incarnation of Green Lantern to Smallville canon. John Stewart took Clark under his wing and began training him. While Clark learned how to use the ring from Stewart, he found himself swept into one of Stewart's battles with the Green Lantern villain, Parallax.

Superman and John Stewart managed to defeat Parallax, and in the aftermath of the battle, the Green Lantern Corps took the ring back and decided not to force anyone else into joining them. As Clark's adventures continued, he crossed paths with a number of DC Comics superheroes who were never able to appear on Smallville , such as Batman and Wonder Woman. Batman, for instance, was being used for Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy when Smallville was still on the air.

The series wasn't able to use him, but Smallville Season 11 , as a comic book, had no such restrictions. Batman finally crossed paths with Superman when the Caped Crusader came to Metropolis on the hunt for his parents' killer. He lured Superman into a fight as a distraction so that his partner, Nightwing Barbara Gordon could complete Batman's mission for him.

However, her attempts to break a man out of prison were thwarted by Superman's ally, Green Arrow. Both fights went on for a while, but ended when Superman and Batman agreed to a truce. Obsessed with becoming the hero the world needs, Clark is now literally leaving his mark on Metropolis — having fully embraced his Kryptonian side in order to finish training with his father Jor-El, Clark has started wearing the House of El family crest on his chest, and spreads the symbol around the city in an effort to give its people hope.

Whereas Clark is working alone, Chloe feels driven to reunite the disbanded Justice League. Her biggest challenge is Oliver Queen, who'd rather lose himself in underground fight clubs and drunken one-night stands. Oliver's friends will hatch a plan to bring him back from the edge.

Reconnecting with the hero inside of him, Oliver will return with a renewed purpose, even searching out an apprentice in Mia Dearden, teenaged sidekick "Speedy. Clark and Oliver find themselves caught up in a love triangle with Lois, as both men's passions begin to burn brightly for her.

Returning from her trip through time, Lois starts experiencing nightmarish visions of a possible future. Could they come true? If so, one not-so-troubling image is playing itself over and over in her head — Lois and Clark locked in a romantic, erotic embrace. Meanwhile, Clark continues to be conflicted over his own feelings for Lois. As the sparks fly, Lois and Clark's relationship will deepen, leading to their first true kiss, and possibly something more.

Meanwhile, Clark and Chloe's relationship is starting to become strained. No longer content just being Clark's sidekick, Chloe uses Watchtower's powerful computers to spin her own web of influence and intrigue, manipulating people like chess pieces in the name of the greater good.

But when Chloe begins to believe the ends justify the means, it sends her on a collision course with her friend and ally Clark. When it comes to master manipulators, Tess Mercer has emerged as the rightful heir to Lex Luthor's legacy. Always inscrutable, Tess has her hands full this season with an army of Kryptonians, newly arrived from the lost city of Kandor and led by the infamous Zod.

However, this incarnation of Zod is younger than one we remember — he has yet to grow into the power-mad sociopathic dictator, General Zod. Zod may only be a Major, but he's already a cunning strategist and charismatic leader who knows how to inspire his troops.

But behind his magnetism and those piercing eyes, Zod is still very dangerous. When Zod and Clark eventually meet, Clark recognizes that if he can befriend his fellow Kryptonian, he might be able to influence Zod away from becoming an evil, twisted tyrant. While it's true this Major Zod has certain vulnerabilities, it may only take a handful of betrayals to turn him into Clark's deadly nemesis. Season Ten opens mere seconds after last season's finale.

Clark Kent wakes from his near-death experience, haunted by the ghosts of his past, both friend and foe. Given a new lease on life, Clark must find a way to rid himself of every last temptation, to purge himself of every last shard of doubt in his heart before he can become the beacon of hope the world needs. But a very real threat from Clark's past has returned to challenge his ascent, causing Clark to question the nature of his crusade.

Lois Lane will face her own crisis of meaning, trying to redefine her place in the world now that she knows Clark's super secret—but Clark won't discover that she knows, and that's the way she wants to keep it. Lois will try her best to keep the mild-mannered reporter at arms' length in the hopes that a life free of romantic complication will make him a better hero.

Throughout season nine, Clark, bearing the iconic S-shield of his heritage, struggled to find his place between the human world in which he was raised and the Kryptonian world he was born into. Having made peace with his dual heritage, Clark, in Season Ten, must now find the courage to step out of the shadows and emerge into the light.

Never before has there been such a dangerous time for Clark to step into the public eye and take on the mantle of the inspirational icon he is destined to be. As the tide of sentiment in Metropolis turns against heroes, branding them as unchecked vigilantes, our defender of justice will be called upon to re-define what it really means to be a superhero.

Given how dangerously close Clark has skirted to crossing the line in the name of "justice" in the past, will he truly earn the right to be the symbol of good for humanity, or will he prove the naysayers right, that no one individual can be judge, jury and enforcer. In the midst of this turmoil, a new danger will emerge as a dark force takes on many faces, threatening Clark at every turn.

Hawkman Michael Shanks , Supergirl Laura Vandervoort , and Jonathan Kent John Schneider , Clark's late, adopted father—forever and always Clark's moral compass, will stand by Clark's side as he takes his final steps toward accepting his birthright. Not bad for someone from the Caribbean, eh? To top all this off, I've scribed short films and documentaries, conceptualizing stories and scripts from a human interest and social justice perspective.
